Number-One International Best Seller

When a former student bungles a murder investigation, clinical psychologist Joseph O'Loughlin steps in to face a ruthless killer.

A mother and her teenage daughter are found murdered in a remote coastal home, one defiled by multiple stab wounds and the other posed like Sleeping Beauty waiting for her prince. Joe O'Loughlin is drawn into the investigation when a former student, trading on Joe's reputation by calling himself "the Mindhunter", jeopardizes the police inquiry by leaking details to the media and stirring up public anger.

Joe discovers a link between the farmhouse murders and a series of vicious attacks in which the victims are choked unconscious and brutally scarred. Now Joe must stop a ruthless and brash criminal who has apparently graduated to murder.

Much to his surprise, he is ably assisted by his eldest daughter, now a keen and courageous observer in her own right. Together they must track and catch a hunter who seems to anticipate every move they make.

I don't know if Joe's story will go on, but I can't imagine his story going on after this. I'm devastated. I normally listen while I'm driving but I had to stop and finish it when I got home because I could sense the ending was going to make me cry. it's an amazing story and I've been with it since the beginning. I hope there is more for Joe but I don't know what could come next.

I can't believe it's over

Can’t sing my praises for this book loudly enough! Not only was I blown away by when I found out who the killer was, the ending of this book had me in tears!!!! Love. Love. Love.
Robotham hits the nail on the head with me every time. And I don’t think I could listen to anyone else narrate other than Sean Barrett!!!

Never disappointed!!!!

Robotham is in a rare class of the very best writers of suspense, at once exciting, challenging and with a depth of character development rarely found in the genre. Somehow Sean Barrett strikes the perfect balance between sharp intellect and deep feeling in his reading of Joe, one that inevitably makes me picture Colin Firth in the role. A+ in every way.

Brilliant and heartbreaking

I have read the entire series. I was introduced to Robotham, years ago, by the owner of an English language book shop in Cannes. Since then, I have found him in bookstores all over the world as I travel. Close Your Eyes will not disappoint you if you have enjoyed the others. I listened to the audible version this time as I was driving and enjoyed it immensely. Sean, the narrator, did an excellent job. His voice was perfect for how I picture the characters voices. I look forward to the next book.

This book will not disappoint you, the Joe O'Loughin series continues.

Really loved this book. It was a mystery, but at the same time, a moving love story. Need to investigate other books by this author. The narration was spot-on, as well. Hated to see this one end.

A multi-faceted read!

I can’t believe the ending of this book. I have really enjoyed this series, but the ending to this one is hard to take.
